Whats up people??

The original contributors of the blog seem to have vanished away..What's up people?? After the exams it seems no one is interested in Maths. Had too much of it already??
I think this blog also neds a new look. Though black is a good colour but CHANGE is really necessary. Something bright would liven up the blog.
Hope to see some good interesting stuff too.

Sum Word

Following is a problem really interesting..... lets see if it wacks your brain or not...( mite not... if you are too good!!)


N O S I E R
A S T R A L
-------------
7 2 5 6 1 3

there has to be a '+' sign in between that is N O S I E R is being added to A S T R A L
I have removed it as it was causing problems , the letters were not coimng in stright lines i.e. A below N ; S below O ; so on and similarly 7 being the sum of N and A etc..
NOSIER and ASTRAL both denote individual numbers ( ie some lakhs) where each letter stands fro some digit

In the additon above, the sum represents a word.
1) Each letter represents a different digit.
2) No letter represents zero.

Which word is represented by : ' 7 2 5 6 1 3 ' ?

heres another problem... more interesting than the previous

APARTMENTS

A , B , C and D each live in an apartment.

1) Their apartments are arranged like this :
-------------------
| a | b | c | d | ---------> EAST
-------------------
alrite the figure is a bit distorted ... but anyways the idea is tat a, b , c , d are the 4 apartments in which A , B , C , D are residing ( NOT RESPECTIVELY) , the direction too has been shown

2) One of the four is the landlord
3) If C's apartment is not next to B's then A is the landlord and resides in a.
4) If A's apartment is east of C's then D is the landlord and resides in d.
5) If B's apartment is not next to D's then C is the landlord and resides in c.
6) If D's apartment is east of A's then B is landlord and resides in b.

Who is the landlord and what is the arrangemnt of the apartments ( ie who is in which aaprtment) ?????


try this one... its simple though

you have to guess the house number from the following clues:

1) if the house number is a multiple of 3 , then it is a number from 50 through 59.
2) if the house number is not a multiple of 4 , then it is a number from 60 through 69.
3) if the house number is not a multiple of 6 , then it is a number from 70 through 79.

so what is the house number being talked about?
